Frequently Asked Questions - CH 600 ZANUSSI

How to install the Zanussi CH 600 hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. The hood is fixed to the wall or under a cabinet. Respect a minimum distance of 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm for a gas hob. Use an exhaust duct with a diameter of 150 mm.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters are dishwasher safe at a maximum of 65°C. Wash them every 2 months or more frequently in case of intensive use.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter must be replaced every 6 months if the hood is used in recirculation mode. It is not washable.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

First check the electrical supply (fuse, circuit breaker). If the lighting indicator does not light up, change the bulbs. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to change the hood bulb?

First unplug the appliance. Open the protective cover. Replace the defective bulb with an incandescent bulb of the same type (E14, max 40 W). Close the cover.

The hood is very noisy, is this normal?

The noise level varies according to speed. At maximum speed, noise can reach 65 dB(A). If the noise is abnormal, check that the filters are clean and that nothing is obstructing the motor.

Can I use the hood without external evacuation?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. You must then install a charcoal filter (not supplied) and an air outlet deflector.

How to adjust the suction speeds?

Use the mechanical push buttons on the control panel. Press the button corresponding to the desired speed (1, 2 or 3). An indicator lights up to show the active speed.

Before you use the cooker hood we recommend that you read through the whole user manual giving a direct description of the cooker hood and its functions.

To avoid the risks, that are always present when you use a product driven by electricity, it is important that the cooker hood is installed correctly and that you read the safety instructions carefully to avoid misuse and hazard. Save the instruction manual and keep it available at use of the cooker hood.

Safety warnings

For the installer

- When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 120mm diameter hose.

Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

- When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:

electric cookers 600 mm

gas cookers 700 mm

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

- The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

- The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

- The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant local authorities.

- When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

- Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500 - 600 cm² large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

- If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector's office.

- Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm², which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

- If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the

aforementioned measures.

- When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

- short and straight outlet hose

- keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum

- never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve.

- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

- the length should be no more than:

3 metres with one 90° bend

2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.

- Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

For the user

- The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

• Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.

- Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under careful control.

- The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

- The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

- It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

- Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.

- Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).

- It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

- The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

- Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.

- Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Description of the appliance

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. - The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter. - You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

Attention! Certain models are already equipped with charcoal filters. The charcoal filters are attached to one side of the polystyrene protection panels in the packaging and should be fitted into place prior to using the cooker hood in the recirculation version.

Extraction mode

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Fig. 1

Recirculation mode

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
• You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).
• Fix the deflector using 2 screws ∅ 3.5 x 6.5 mm. Fig. 2.

Fig. 2

Control Panel

• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are located on the hood's front panel:
• The light switch switches the hood lamp on and off. The motor switch switches the motor off. Speed 1: Speed 1 push-button. Speed 2: Speed 2 push-button. Speed 3: Speed 3 push-button.

Light switch

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open.

Maintenance and care

The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Metal grease filter

The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filters

Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and out. Fig. 3.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.

- Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Warning

• Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow these instructions.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
